I know you always use grey in your works, but that first panel really feels like manga to me. I mean kinda like how tite kubo uses grey in Bleach. Maybe he isn't a good comparison, because your styles are so different, but I'm just talking about how manga comics use grey. You know what I mean. Anyway the giant tree woman is a really impressive creation. I dig it.

Also, I really wish magic existed in real life. It would be so wondrous if a living tree being like this truly lived... lol. I think you just tapped into my inner child or something. This is how I felt when I first started playing Dungeons and Dragons as a young teenager. Life was filled with magic, mystery and wonder.
